Video captures frightening moment dogs swarm a child in Socorro

Описание: Footage obtained by KFOX14/CBS4 on Monday shows the moment a child was swarmed by a pack of dogs in a Socorro neighborhood.

According to the video, a young girl who was walking to her bus stop on the 11600 block of Flor Freesia Drive in Socorro had a frightening encounter this morning when a pack of dogs began to swarm her.

However, her father heard the commotion and intervened.

Her mother, Mary Zamora, described the frightening moments after Ataiah's father rescued her.

"She was so scared. She was shaking when dad brought her back in," she said.

The Socorro Police Department's Animal Control Unit, in collaboration with SPD Patrol Officers and the El Paso County Animal Welfare Unit, captured 11 dogs linked to a single property in the area.

All captured dogs were then transferred to El Paso Animal Services, where they will be euthanized.

Police said the dog that bit the child will undergo rabies testing as a precaution, though there is no evidence of rabies exposure.

However, two stray dogs remain at large, and the Socorro police urge residents to exercise caution around stray animals.
